Pustra/Vile-een's Vaudeville

Pustra/Vile-een's Vaudeville was an unusual comedy duo that performed on the Alternative Cabaret and Neo-Burlesque scene in London, England and abroad from 2006 till 2009. With their trademark comedy and unusually strange stage acts,[1] they quickly established themselves as a refreshing, subversive and highly talented duo with a twist of Sideshow, known for performing with pancake make-up and in their underwear. The duo was a product of the MySpace era and they created their act online, inspired by Silent films and slapstick comedy of the early 1900s - 1930s and continued to use Social Media to reach more and more fans. Featured in Time Out Magazine's[2] Creatures of The Night article and a press shoot at the famous Hackney Empire alongside other established and emerging acts, the colorful duo was thrust into the spotlight. Noted appearances include Electric Picnic 2008 and the show Telling Tales (Too Terrible To Tell)[3]
